Vehicle leveling process using electronically controlled suspension
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11970038B2) discloses a method for performing a vehicle leveling process using an electronically controlled suspension system. The method involves receiving a signal by a control module to initiate the process, assessing the roll and pitch angles of the vehicle based on data from a position sensor, and adjusting the suspension to level the vehicle. The system also includes a graphical user interface that displays information related to the leveling process, such as suspension indicators, pitch and roll indicators, and interactive controls for monitoring and managing the process.
Furthermore, the patent describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a control system for implementing the vehicle leveling process. The computer-readable medium contains instructions for receiving signals, assessing angles, adjusting the suspension, and displaying information on a graphical user interface. The control system, comprising processors and memory, operates similarly by assessing angles, adjusting the suspension, and presenting information on a graphical user interface. The interface includes suspension indicators, pitch and roll indicators, and controls for initiating, canceling, confirming, or reverting the leveling process. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive system for efficiently and accurately leveling a vehicle using an electronically controlled suspension system, enhancing user experience and vehicle performance.
